"content": "Hon. Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44(2)(c), I rise to request for a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Energy regarding the ongoing power outages in Kiunga Village in Lamu East Constituency. Hon. Speaker, the Kenya Power and Lighting Company is mandated to provide electricity connectivity to all parts of the country. Unfortunately, since 10th April 2024, Kiunga Village in Lamu East Constituency has been experiencing prolonged power outages which have negatively impacted the constituents and caused expiry of medication requiring refrigeration in area hospitals. Hon. Speaker, the power outage, which is allegedly due to a faulty generator and fallen electricity poles, has caused panic amongst the area residents, also noting that Kiunga Village is a security operation zone, and the lack of electricity is likely to cause a rise in incidences of insecurity. Hon. Speaker, it is against this background that I request for a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Energy on the following: 1. What is the status of repairing faulty power generators in the country and specifically in Kiunga Village? 2. Could the Chairperson provide a report on the measures that have been put in place by the Kenya Power and Lighting to restore electricity in Kiunga Village and ensure stable power supply? I, thank you, Hon. Speaker."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44(2)(c), I wish to request for a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Health regarding the ban on the consumption of shisha and vape in the country. Hon. Speaker, in 2017, Kenya implemented a comprehensive ban on shisha including; the use, importation, manufacture, sale, offer of sale, promotion, distribution and encouraging or facilitating its use. Despite this ban, shisha and vape smoking has slowly but steadily managed to entrench itself as a habit among the youth in this country. The vice has become so widespread that it is being sold illegally in major entertainment joints across the country. Sadly, it has found its way deep into the rural towns where young people are puffing their way to the grave. Hon. Speaker, it is against this background that I seek for a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Health on the following issues: 1. What regulatory frameworks have allowed shisha and vape smoking in the country? The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor"

What steps is the Ministry of Health taking in collaboration with the Ministry of Interior and National Administration to ensure that shisha and vape are not readily available, especially among the young people? 3. What measures has the Government put in place to ensure that anybody who sells shisha and vape amongst other narcotic drugs, especially to people below eighteen (18) years, is prosecuted and brought to book? Hon. Speaker, as a nation, we must not allow our country to be a smoking and drinking nation, but a healthy and working one. We must make hard and unpopular decisions to save the future of the young generation of this nation, by making laws that are criminalising the consumption, sale and distribution of shisha and vape amongst other illegal narcotic drugs. Punitive measures have to be put in place for anyone found importing, selling, consuming or distributing shisha and vape. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
